Gorham–Stout syndrome is a rare disease and most often recognized in children and young adults. Chylothorax is a serious complication of Gorham–Stout syndrome. The treatment of either Gorham–Stout syndrome or chylothorax is still a dilemma. We described a 9‐year‐old girl with Gorham–Stout syndrome and chylothorax who was admitted to our hospital because of dyspnea, orthopnea, and bone pain, and treated with interferon alpha‐2b.
